After restoring a system via Ghost, which we are no longer using, or via ShadowProtect Version 3.0 (fixed in 3.1), one may need to reset the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Boot Sector on the new hard disk, replaced hard disk, or disk RAID array.

The key indicator that there is a problem is the blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen after trying to reboot into the now recovered/restored OS.

The process has changed a bit as far as the command structure in Windows Vista versus Windows XP.

For Windows Vista:

Boot the Vista DVD

Choose the Repair option at the Install Screen (bottom left corner link)

Thanks for the info...it was the answer I was lookiing for...I had installed openSuse on a second hard drive to try it out and reformated the drive after I decided to try something else and that's when I received my GRUB error 22.Thanks,DJ
